Two new isopimarane diterpenoids, named 1-hydroxy-7-oxoisopimara-8, 15-diene (), 11-hydroxy-7-oxoisopimara-8(14), 15-diene (), together with six known compounds (), were isolated from the medicinal plant . All isolates were assayed for their cytotoxicity and -glucosidase inhibitory activity. Results suggested compounds , possessed significant cytotoxic activity against HepG2, HL60, and Hela cell lines with IC values ranging from 0.23 to 0.35 μM, and compounds , exhibited noticeable -glucosidase inhibitory ability with IC values of 0.25 and 0.31 μM, respectively.

Diabetes mellitus, particularly type 2 diabetes, is a growing global health challenge characterized by chronic hyperglycemia due to insulin resistance. One therapeutic approach to managing this condition is the inhibition of α-glucosidase, an enzyme involved in carbohydrate digestion, to reduce postprandial blood glucose levels. In this study, a series of thiosemicarbazide-linked quinoline-piperazine derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, to identify new agents for type 2 diabetes management.

Tree bark is a crucial tissue that defends tree stems from invasions by microorganisms. However, our understanding of the constitutive chemical defense mechanisms of the tree barks remains limited. Our group recently discovered that the inner bark of Sorbus commixta exhibited potent inhibitory effects on the growth of the white-rot fungus, Trametes versicolor.

Phytochemical investigation of the roots of yielded a new phenylpropanoid, adenophoride () and a new polyacetylene, adenylene () along with four phenylpropanoids and a polyacetylene. The structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis including NMR, MS, UV and IR. Among the isolated compounds, phenylpropanoids including a new compound showed mild α-glucosidase inhibitory activities.

Background: Edible insects are used for consumption and traditional medicine due to their rich bioactive compounds. This study examined the bioactive compounds and inhibitory effects of crude extracts from Bombyx mori and Omphisa fuscidentalis on α-glucosidase, α-amylase, acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and tyrosinase. Fatty acids, including n-hexadecanoic acid and oleic acid, were identified in the extracts and evaluated for their inhibitory potential against the enzymes in vitro and in silico.
